The Mary Shelley Club

For a young adult thriller, this was pretty good. I have to remember it was not going to be as dark as the books I'm used to. But it kept me entertained. I loved the horror movie references and the ending really reminded me of scream. However, the book is way too long for no reason. Almost 500 pages and the true tension doesn't really happen until the last 100. I was expecting it to be a little darker, and a little more thrilling but then again, it is young adult. I did enjoy the twists. I saw it coming that one of the group was in on it, but didn't expect them all to be and it was one huge fear test. I also really liked the idea that this was only one “chap” or chapter and there were Mary Shelley Clubs all over. There could be a prequel of Rachel's Long Island Incident, but much shorter please!
